Riley is off....

Right before Riley was set-apart
with Sam, Mike and Grandpa Bradley


Lunch at Magelby's Fresh,
Same place we went with Sam the day he left for his mission.

Final Pictures with Riley

Off he goes... for two years!
The first 12 weeks in the MTC to learn Thai,
then off to Thailand.

Getting Riley Ready...

We have gone shopping...

We went to Las Vegas so he could speak in Church there...

The day before he left he wore his favorite BRIGHT pants...

Riley's last Saturday... of course the boys went skiing

It was a blizzard but they had a great time!

Zoo day

Thursday Night Rye and I were planning our day Friday.
I asked Riley what he wanted to do,
these last few days before he goes on his mission.
His reply, "Let's go to the zoo."
So we did...

Email from Katie

I got my research paper back that i wrote for last semester, and I GOT A 98% ON IT!

WOOOOHOOOO!

i attached it in case you wanted to read it, see how awesome it is, and then print it out, write a giant A on the front, and tape it to your fridge.

ha!

love you both!

katie

So of course I printed it out, put the big A on it
and put it on the fridge.
I love that your kids leave home
but they are still your kids
I love being a mom!
Congrats Katie, you go girl!
